Hi Donna, Maybe it might be a good thing to have your hip look at by a orthopedic Dr.there are a lot of nerves in that area and one might be pinching. I have had back problem for years degenerative discs and sometimes I get that kind of pain which the Drs say its sciatica. It would not be worth it to see someone and get the right treatment. Wishing you well, Lou
